Implementing SAP ERP Sales & Distribution

Especially helpful are the tips and notes which give useful advice, warnings and time-saving OSS notes.

As an experienced SD consultant, I found this book a useful, comprehensive and concise record of SD customising. New users will find it an invaluable source of knowledge, understanding and experience.

This is even better than the 1st version in 2000. It is a very good book that explains ECC and SPRO environment for SD . It has great screenshots and provides the reader with an enough information to be able to get a good handle on configuring the main elements of SAP SD . I would recommend this book for Business analyst who are involved in SD SAP or for consultants in other areas who would like to get a better handle on SD

This book is even better than the brilliant first edition. It has been updated for ECC5 and ECC6 and it has more screenshots, better print and more tips and tricks than the first edition. (And is a better quality). There is an appendix on all the SD transaction codes. The book covers nearly all SD topics; from basic introduction of ERP and SD organisational data to configuration of nearly everything from pricing, document types, ATP, through to advanced functionalities like user exits and step by step guides on how to use ABAP queries etc. It is a gold mine of tips and tricks and would be recommended to anyone who is either configuring SAP SD or wishes to understand the nuts and bolts of this SAP module and its integration within SAP.

This is a very good book. I have several years of experience in SAP Business One and decided to go into SAP ERP aka ECC6.0 when someone recommended this book. I'll tell you honestly the information in the book is worth much than what you'll pay for it. It is very well structured, the explanations are very clear and consice. If you're new or wish to reinforce your skills in Sales and Distribution / ECC6.0, get this is book.


A useful book with good basic SD coverage of configuration   April 7, 2000

This is a landmark book for two reasons. Firstly, as far as I am aware, this book is the first to show how to configure elements of the module. Secondly, the author includes hard-won knowledge, from various sources, not covered in any other SAP textbook. The book is therefore unique and recommended as a aid for consultants seeking to round out their general knowledge of the module. Whilst most core areas are covered in depth, some such as Transportation, Foreign Trade and Lean WM, for example, are however skipped over much more lightly, if mentioned at all. The front cover exclaims 'Covers R/3 4.6!', but very little 4.5/4.6 functionality is discussed. It would also have been useful if the book had discussed more peripheral, but increasingly SD relevant, areas such as Variant Configuration and in particular, internet trading. 'Implementing SAP R/3 Sales & Distribution' is a very useful book with good basic SD coverage of configuration, supported by good quality screenshots. It also covers some of those useful peripheral topics that a SAP Academy doesn't teach you, such as reporting tools and the useful parts of the ABAP workbench. It would have saved me a lot of time and anguish in my early SAP days and is still useful to dip into as a refresher.
